Leaked Photos Reveal an Unseen adidas Yeezy 500 Featuring Post-Ye Yeezy Branding

After adidas ended its partnership with Ye, the German sportswear giant announced that it plans to use its Yeezy inventory in 2023. New leaked photos reveal an unseen adidas Yeezy 500, which may be the first of many Yeezy silhouettes rumored to release throughout 2023.

This adidas Yeezy 500 follows leaked images of a hybrid Yeezy model that was revealed last month. While the first potential post-Yeezy is outfitted in all-Black, this sneaker comes ready in lunar-inspired shades of Grey. The upper is made with thick mesh and smooth suede, and sits atop an adiPRENE+ sole unit.

Being that adidas owns the copyright to a number of Yeezy silhouettes, they can move forward with the designs without Ye. However, many expected adidas to omit the Yeezy branding altogether, but from what we can see, the tag still identifies the sneaker as a Yeezy 500.

This sneaker may be one of the remaining styles that was set to release before Ye’s termination, which would also be the case for the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 “Pirate Black,” which was scheduled to release in early 2023.

Look for this adidas Yeezy 500 to release in 2023. Updates can be found on our sneaker release dates page. Take a look at the sneaker below and follow @NiceDrops on Instagram.
